Shocking news

[macklingirl]

I just heard the shocking news with the burning Grenfell Tower in London near Hyde Park. In the news they just said that there arestill people in the tower but they don't know how many. It is burning from the second floor up to the roof. It is 27 stories high and the fire department couldn't reach the higher stories. They are working with more than 200 firefighters and 40 fire trucks. And they know it is a hopeless fight.

My heart is with the firefighters and I keep my fingers crossed that no one dies. There are still 27 injured people by now!

I'm very sad now!

Edit 10:00 am: They told in the news that there are a number of fatals. I feel with the relatives of the fire victims.

Very Bad News and the pictures are horrible. My thoughts are with the people.

Mine too. It was a shock to see the pictures in the morning.

Yeah, when you see the pictures you can't believe that there is anything the fire brigade can do about it...

It's terrible!

Yeah, and they are fighting so hard. These men and women are real heroes!

Yes, I only just saw this on my news feed! Those poor people!

Yes, they are. All of them, the people who try to help and those who lost everything!

Yes, that's my thought too. I was really shocked when I heard it and at work I could watch Newsbreak on N24 and the pictures are in my mind since then.
